Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
John McCain served his country with incredible honor during the Vietnam War. He’s not doing so now. It’s time to dump him and there’s a viable contender facing off against him in the upcoming primaries. A friend forwarded the following email to me:
Continue readingAl Franken, the rude buffoon from Minnesota deserved to be taken to task, and John McCain did it. The set-up: Joe Lieberman ran out of time to finish his talk; he asked, as Senators do, for a couple of extra minutes; and Al Franken, who was chairing, refused, something Senators
Continue readingI’m going to be working, not blogging, tomorrow morning, November 4, 2008, so feel free to consider this an open thread. I can’t let this occasion go by without a few words, though. On the candidates: If you believe government can solve most of our problems; if you believe Barack
Continue readingThere’s one word that inevitably comes to mind when I think of the Paragraph Farmer: thoughtful. Patrick looks deeply into issues, rather than just skating over the surface. If you scootch yourself over to this link, you will see a very thoughtful post explaining why Patrick is voting for McCain
Continue readingSomething weird has been happening at SNL, which has been on point, funny, and not too mean to Republicans. Witness McCain’s appearance there last night:
Continue readingMy big push in the next two weeks is to keep the focus on the two parties’ differing visions of America. It’s much easier to get a handle on the big picture, and avoids the mud-slinging associated with the personalities lined up behind these ideological views. I’ve pointed out that,
Continue readingAt HotAir, you can read this long, detailed and thoughtful post examining Obama’s positions on myriad issues. As you read the post, think about what I was trying to say yesterday: figure out what beliefs you hold, and then match them to the candidate. We’ve been so personality driven this
Continue readingI have no idea if this email, which I got from the local Republican grapevine, is true, so I offer it for whatever you think it’s worth: Good morning, I wanted to pass along something heard Saturday at a community event. As most of you may know, Zogby International is

Continue readingI’m not sure I need to watch tonight’s debate, because I already know how it’s going to play out: SCHIEFFER: Good evening, gentlemen. You already know the rules, so let’s start with the questions. Sen. Obama, the first question is for you: Please describe for the American voters the way
Continue readingMacho Sauce Productions succinctly explains how we can tell that McCain did, in fact, win the debate: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxf56Jxg_H4[/youtube] Also, if you think the big guys — Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. — should start paying attention to this guy, you can sign a petition to make that point.
Continue readingOur world view determines how we process new data. If your world view is bounded by race, every new bit of information is going to be run through that racial filter, and divided into “racist” or “non-racist” categories. If you only have two intake bins, the information has to go
Continue readingWhile hustling the kids through homework, dinner and bed time, I’ve still read tons of debate live blogs — American Thinker, Contentions, Michelle Malkin, the Corner, Power Line — and the verdict from each of them is the same: the debate was b-o-r-i-n-g, all three (Brokaw, McCain and Obama) performed
Continue readingCharlie Martin makes a nice argument, which is that McCain has been setting Obama up for all the hits McCain is suddenly throwing at him. I don’t know if I believe this, since it strikes me as pretty dangerous to wait until the last 30 days to launch these assaults.
Continue readingAt the fundraiser I attended yesterday, Palin promised that McCain was listening to the repeated request that he “take the gloves off.” Her promise was good, and he was listening: Finally! Let’s hope that this same McCain shows up at tomorrow’s debate. Lisa Schiffren also has some good ideas about
